ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair
RUNNING from November 7 to 10 at Shanghai Exhibition Center, the fair attracts about 110 galleries from 18 countries and 57 cities, presenting contemporary art and design by established and emerging artists, such as the solo-exhibition by British artist Eddie Peake at White Cube.
The exhibition focus lies in the lapses and voids inherent in the process of translating between verbal language and nonverbal modes of communication.
“Detour” investigates discourses from regions beyond the Euro-American fabricated geographic networks and canonized narratives, in a hope to understand artistic, intellectual, social, political, and economic exchanges and developments on a global scale from different viewpoints.
“Approach” supports the development of young galleries across the world by applying a different pricing model from the main section. Participating galleries will present either a solo or a group show featuring fewer than three artists with a curatorial approach.
“Beyond” transcends the spatial limitation of traditional art-fair booths. It showcases large-scale paintings, sculptures and installations in the public area of ART021.
“Beyond-Extends” integrates contemporary art installations into public life by placing them in the public spaces outside the fair.
Through artist collaborations, Beyond-Extends promotes public art in China and engages with the local Shanghai community.
Date: November 9-10, 10am-6pm Address: 1000 Yan’an Rd M.
